Background

Morpho Optimizers

Morpho is a Lending protocol.

It is a lending pool optimizer and can be seen as a peer-to-peer layer on top of lending pools like Compound or Aave. Rates are seamlessly improved for suppliers and borrowers while preserving the same liquidity and risk parameters.

In short:

- Morpho AaveV2 Optimizer is an upgraded version of Aave V2.

- Morpho AaveV3-ETH Optimizer is an upgraded version of Aave V3 ETH e-mode.

- Morpho CompoundV2 Optimizer is an upgraded version of Compound V2.

As such, Morpho enhances your rates while preserving the same user experience, the same liquidity, and the same risk parameters as the underlying protocols
